Spicy Chipotle Chick Pea Burgers

Ingredients:

2 cans chick peas
1 cup cooked quinoa

The veggies:

1 red onion
1/4 cup chopped parsley
1 red bell pepper
1 carrot
2-3 garlic cloves

Roasted:

3Tb sunflower seeds
1Tb pumpkin seeds

Some flavor and texture:

1/4cup bread crumbs
2-3 Tb ground flax seeds
3Tb BBQ sauce
1/4tsp red pepper flakes
1tsp chipotle seasoning
salt to taste

Directions:
With a potato masher, mash the chick peas and quinoa until it's a thick paste.  In a food processor chop up all the veggies and grate the carrot in.  Add the veggies to the chick pea paste.  Roast the seeds in a pan over the stove and then add to the veggies and chick peas.  Stir and add the bread crumbs, flax seeds, BBQ sauce, pepper flakes, chipotle seasoning and salt.  

Make into little patties and refrigerate for 30 minutes. Cook in a pan until the sides are brown, 4 minutes per side should do it. Makes 20 little patties. 

I serve them with lettuce, tomato and sweet potato fries! ;)
